Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Short textual description (one-line) of the object.

CreationClassName

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Name of the class or subclass used in the creation of an instance. When used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this class and its subclasses to be uniquely identified.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Textual description of the object.

InstallDate

Data type: datetime
Access type: Read-only

Date and time object was installed. This property does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.

Name

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Unique identifier of the service which provides an indication of the functionality that is managed. This functionality is described in more detail in the object's Description property.

Started

Status

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Current status of the object. Various operational and nonoperational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses include: "OK", "Degraded", and "Pred Fail" (an element, such as a SMART-enabled hard disk drive, may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future). Nonoperational statuses include: "Error", "Starting", "Stopping", and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is online, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states.

Values are:

"OK"

"Error"

"Degraded"

"Unknown"

"Pred Fail"

"Starting"

"Stopping"

"Service"

SystemCreationClassName

Data type: string

SystemName

Data type: string

Remarks

The Win32_ApplicationService class is derived from CIM_Service.
